Call for proposals
The British Council has announced a call for proposals under its initiative aimed at supporting new links between early stage researchers in the UK and in other countries. The Researcher Exchange Programme (RXP) is a £250,000 initiative that provides individual researchers with awards covering travel and subsistence costs, and some consumables costs, needed to develop new scientific collaborations and contacts through exchange visits of between one week and three months' duration.
